While it has a shower and is accessible from the house, it is mostly used as a convenience for those using the pool. The picture of the boat is the one that is assigned to this house. We reserve the right to substitute a similar boat if this boat is out of service for scheduled maintenance. We maintain these boats to the highest standards and have very little problems with these boats.

A great Place

5
of 5

We had been looking for a vacation place that would accommodate our time frame. Our son was getting married and we needed a place to go to after the wedding. We wanted a nice place were our family whom we have not seen in a while, could come visit and share our vacation. Tim and Alra worked with us to make this work. The house provided us with a boat and we were able to go out to a sand bar in the gulf where we able to swim, fish, enjoyed the wonderful beach and just plain relax. Mickey, the landlord met us at the house with the keys, he provided us with tons of information about things to do (sand bar) and where to eat.

At the house we made use of the pool and grilled out on several nights. There was a minor issue with the pool one day, Mickey was there quickly and took care of it. A couple of evenings we went to the private beach and watched and took pictures of the sunset.

Diffidently would come back, the house was clean and provided all inessentials needed to make it our home for a week.

A wonderful vacation home!!

This is the third year we have rented from Tim and Arla, and the third time that we have had an amazing vacation. This is the first time that we rented this house and we loved, loved it! It had every thing we could ask for. We enjoyed the boat more this time. We made several trips to the sandbar. We caught sea trout, catfish , sharks, and a puffer. We saw rays and sea turtles swimming right under the boat. We want to thank the neighbors for the most amazing fireworks show ever. The only disappointing part of this vacation was that it didn't last long enough. We will come back next year, hopefully for two weeks. Thanks again for sharing this great home.

A Real Find

We rented this home for a month with another couple, two weeks each with several days overlap in between. Ideal for two couples or a large family. The pontoon boat and heated pool provided all the water activity we could want without using the car. That said, there is an uncrowded private beach just a few blocks away for an ocean view and sand under your feet. Lots of fishing equipment available, though the water temperature was still too cold in early March for exciting fishing (according to the natives). Did catch a number of undersize sea trout, however, and managed to lose a few spanish mackerel in the process. The sandbar was ideal for shelling, wading and just relaxing and reading (about 40 minutes away in the pontoon boat). Mickey was very helpful in providing information and immediately responsive to any questions or issues, since he lives just a few houses away, and the neighbors are very friendly and helpful as well. Our son and his family joined us for a few days, and the third bedroom was perfect for our teenage granddaughter. Lots of shopping within a 10 minute drive, including Walmart, Sam's, and Publix. Restaurants in the area are casual, good food at reasonable prices - no fine dining, however. Would recommend Niko's for family dining, Catch's for ambiance, and takeout Chinese in the Publix plaza. Proximity to Tarpon Springs is a plus with several good restaurants, and the aquarium there, while small, is definitely worth a visit. We highly recommend taking the hour long drive to Homosassas Springs Wildlife Park to see the manatees as well as the many other animals on display.

All in all, we enjoyed the house and the area and highly recommend this property for a relaxing vacation.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much and so glad you all enjoyed your vacation. Your very extensive letter sounds like a wonderful advertisement .Please come back soon. A cooler than usual winter but never a complaint since it was so bad up north.

Great smaller house with pool and BOAT included

Boat included was the great advantage with this house. All items needed were there and very nice. The bedrooms are OK but the second bath was very small. Great house for two people and the location is great with easy access to the gulf and beach. I will stay there again!

Nice Get-away!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house late this summer. Our ages ranged from 3 to 60, and all had a wonderful time. While centrally located to many great restaurants and touristy stops, the house was about as far from the normal business and craziness of beach life as you could get. The house had just about anything we could ask for, with the private pool and screened porch being the biggest attraction for our crowd. We, of course, loved use of the boat and used it daily. As a heads-up, not necessarily as a renting deterrent, it does take about 25 minutes, at idle speed, to make it out to open water via the waterways. This factor certainly altered how often and when we went out boating and fishing (and made it all the more important for us to make sure we had EVERYTHING we needed prior to leaving dock), but this was certainly no fault of the house or renters... just something to be aware of. As was the case with many other renters, we found the boating destinations (namely the sand bar and nearby island) to be delightful and the sea life and birds to be plentiful. Overall, the rental experience was a very positive one, from the general comfort and expediency in the resolution of a few minor issues at the house to the options for entertainment that the house/pool/boat provided. My family would certainly suggest this rental to anyone interested and will certainly consider renting it again in the future!

Owner's Response: Hi this is Arla, I sure am glad that you enjoyed the home. We try to think of everything. About the boat, We are only allowed one speed on the motor. We do find that the least people are riding the faster you go thanks so much for the kind words and DO come back again and take advantage of the discount

Love having the boat!

My brother and I (both of us are in our 50’s) vacationed together at this property in August 2012 and again in September 2013. All in all, we have been very pleased with the house, and we are likely to return in the future. Although the house is somewhat small (like many in Gulf Harbors), it is laid out nicely and lends itself well to cooking and grilling. The living space could accommodate 6 guests, although 2 would need to sleep on the futon in the dining room. The screened patio is the perfect place to relax while taking in the beautiful view of the canal. There are a variety of birds (including large white egrets and blue herons) that make daily visits to the yard and the dock. The exclusive use of the pontoon boat really sets this rental apart. We enjoy cruising the canals, and the nearby sand bar island is truly a magical place – so peaceful and you can find an unlimited number of perfect shells. The temperature of the gulf water was in the 80’s during our visits and we saw a couple of stingrays while swimming near the sandbar! We also love making a quick trip (5 minutes by car) to the private beach to watch the fantastic sunsets. When making our pre-visit arrangements, Arla (the owner’s mother) was very pleasant and easy to interact with, and Mickey (the local property manager) was helpful and quick to respond to a few small issues we had while we were staying there. Arla and Mickey both seemed very committed to making sure that we had an enjoyable visit. Although many people do not think of visiting Florida in August and September, it really can be a great time to visit. No crowds, and you can always go in the pool or the canal (or inside to air-conditioned comfort) to cool off. Although there are a variety of activities nearby, we end up spending most of our time on the boat or in the patio. Come on down for a visit, just leave a week or two for us!
